Although we drove around looking for parking for some time we eventually found one. We wore light up gear but husband still couldn't find us when we happened to split up lol We noticed there's a school lot a couple blocks away charging $10/car. Good to now for next time. Thanks to this Starkwood neighborhood for keeping the holiday spirit going, since 1932!?!

Peacock Lane reminded me why the holidays used to feel magical…read more The last few years have been weary since COVID, and it's easy to forget what community actually feels like. Walking Peacock Lane this season brought that feeling rushing back. Neighbors, families, couples, kids, all moving slowly side by side, bundled up, sharing space, sharing smiles, sharing the moment. House after house was lit beautifully, each one with its own personality. My favorite this year was the Home Alone house, playful, nostalgic, and impossible not to smile at. But what made the night truly special was hearing live music from neighbors, joining in caroling with complete strangers, watching families take photos in front of glowing homes, and realizing how rare and meaningful that kind of togetherness feels now. Peacock Lane is a reminder of what the season is supposed to be about. I left feeling happier and genuinely grateful. If you need a reason to believe in the holiday spirit again, this is it.

It was super cool! What a fun experience; this is great and…read moreexciting for all ages. I want to go back again next year to see the different light patterns they choose! The honking of the ships was so cool and really excited the kids who attended! Plan ahead for some traffic on the way in and out, a lot of people show up to watch them! Understandably so, it's a free Christmas event that's fun for the whole family! Highly recommend!

The Christmas ships are such a unique tradition for Portland! Apparently this tradition started in…read more1954 where one sailboat tied some ribbon to their bow. It has since grown and averages about 60 boats. Each boat owner designs and builds their own display, and they pay all their own operating costs to drive up and down the city rivers to bring joy to everyone. How awesome is that! Check their website for times and locations of their parades. This year I watched from George Rogers Park on December 16, and it was a great vantage point. Tons of people came out, so there was hardly any parking, but we got to see both fleets and all of the many decorations. My favorite boat this year was the jellyfish, runner up probably the shark in a Santa hat. In years past, I have seen them from bridges and the Waterfront Park. Any waterfront hotel or restaurant would be great. Or book a spot on the Portland Spirit or rent a Yacht Tub and get on the river to see them up close! If you know someone with the houseboat, make them your best friend and you'll have a great view. Happy holidays!

I got here late about 30mins before closing so I only walked around for a little. It's so Beautiful, peaceful, & calm here. The Grotto is a 62-acres sanctuary founded in 1924. There are so many beautifully carved statues. All the statues are made from marble, granite, bronze, wood, polyester resin and fiberglass. On their webpage, The Grotto's Vision is To forever be a place where the human spirit can seek peace and consolation. The National Sanctuary of Our Sorrowful Mother embraces and supports people of all cultures and all faiths who seek a place of prayer and meditation; The Grotto values the dignity of everyone. I'll definitely come back here the next time I'm in town so I can spend a bit more time exploring. There's a decent sized parking lot. It was empty as I got here close to closing but I'm sure it gets very busy here.

Dan was very fast to respond to my questions, incredibly knowledgable, and I never felt like he was pressuring me into more than what I wanted. He even uses a Google image of the home to show a sample of what the home will look like when the service is done. Despite being in the thick of busy season, they managed to put me on the schedule very quickly so we could enjoy the lights for as long as possible before Christmas Day. The service itself was exceptional! Alexis and I spoke about what was going to be done in detail before he started, and then he simply took care of the rest. The end result is beyond anything we had expected. The lights are perfectly uniform, there's a light at each peak point of our roof line (I love the attention to detail!), no loose/drooping wires anywhere, and the lights themselves couldn't be easier to operate with the wireless remote that's included. I feel safe knowing that the lights and installation are all under their guarantee/warranty too. They absolutely have a return client in me for years to come! I only wish that we had found Peak Christmas Lights earlier in the season.
